If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Qin Antai became even more frightened, and called out in a trembling voice, "Mom!"

Liu Yinghua's face turned pale and she subconsciously glanced at her husband.

Qin Jingchang swallowed hard and said, "Stop talking nonsense here! Where is the ghost? Everyone, go away! Those who can't sleep, stay vigil in the funeral hall!"

As soon as the word "night watch" was uttered, all the servants in the yard immediately dispersed.

They run faster than rabbits.

Qin Antai grabbed Liu Yinghua's sleeve and said in a low voice with a sad face: "Mom, I'm scared."

Liu Yinghua shook off her son's hand and winked at him, "You go back first."

Qin Antai felt relieved. He didn't even take his cloak and ran away.

Liu Yinghua whispered to Qin Jingchang: "Master?"

Qin Shu and Nanny Liu stood at the door of the mourning hall, looking over here without saying a word.

Qin Jingchang whispered, "Go to the duty room at Chuihua Gate and take a look."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the Chuihua Gate.

Liu Yinghua glanced at Qin Shu quickly and followed closely.

Aunt Liu waited until they were far away before she asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you think the master and his wife are really back?"

Qin Shu sighed softly: She actually hoped it was true.

Unfortunately, it was she who caused all this commotion.

She turned around, picked up the broken incense burner from the ground, and said, "Mammy, please find a spare incense burner. We can't stop burning in front of our parents' spirits."

The broken incense means the end of the incense.

When a person has just passed away, his soul is still confused. Without incense sticks, the souls of my parents can't find the way home.

Just like after she died in her previous life, no one offered incense to her and her soul wandered around the world.

If Miss Song Yuan hadn't accidentally lit a stick of incense and led her over, she wouldn't have known where she would have floated to.

After this, I believe the East Palace will be much quieter at night.

When the jewelry commissioned by my brother is finished and delivered, there will be less eye-candy and it will be much more convenient.

Qin Shu did not forget that there was a truth talisman in that "blind box".

I need to think carefully about how to use this talisman paper.

My current strength is too weak, so I must know how to hide my weakness. Compared with this magical space, the Qin Mansion's wealth is nothing.

Qin Shu knew very well that once the secret of the bracelet was leaked, who knows what kind of shock it would cause in the world!

She was an orphan who grew up in seclusion, and the only things she had seen of the world were the years she was a ghost.

How can they be opponents of those martial arts masters and those in power?

Especially, there is a murderer hiding in the dark who murdered her parents!

Under such circumstances, it is unknown how long she can live.

There is no point in anticipating too many difficulties in the long road ahead.

We can only take one step and look at it.

In the duty room of Chuihua Gate, after Duan Yan woke up, he confirmed the words of the two big brothers of Cao Gang.

After the "ghost" incident in the mansion came to light, no one in the entire East Courtyard of the Qin Mansion wandered around outside at night anymore.

The candle in Qin Jingchang's room in the West Mansion burned all night long.

The next day, only after all the relatives and friends who came to pay their respects had arrived did my second uncle, second aunt, and stepbrother arrive at the East Palace, each with dark circles under their eyes.

All items for today's funeral were prepared according to Qin Shu's requirements, so it could be considered standard.

Several great aunts and cousins ​​were unable to find any fault until the lights went down at sunset.

Finally, the second aunt from my great uncle's family found a piece of pork with skin in the big kitchen.

The second aunt pointed at the small bumps on the pig skin and said proudly, "This is sow meat! Who would be willing to sell a sow that is giving birth? This sow meat is either an old pig that has been raised for several years and no longer gives birth, or it is a pig that died of illness."

She looked at Liu Yinghua, whose face was dark, and said, "Second sister-in-law, do you think I am right? My niece has said that all the things used in funeral ceremonies must be the best. How can we use sow meat at this buffet?"

When Qin Shu heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

Seeing that her second uncle and second aunt were silent with gloomy faces, Qin Shu could only cough and say, "Second aunt is right. Accountant Sun, how much money did you spend on buying pork today?"

Accountant Sun was also a little confused. He was stunned for a long time before he saluted and replied, "My dear Miss, today we bought a total of 320 kilograms of pork, and spent a total of 10 taels and 7 coins."

Not much, but better than nothing.

Second Aunt happily took the silver handed over by Accountant Sun.

Several aunts and aunts were a little disappointed.

Qin Shu waved to Accountant Sun, took a thin piece of paper from him, and said to her uncle, "Accountant Sun has calculated the coffins, shrouds, and funeral objects that were agreed upon yesterday. Uncle, please take a look. Here are the details."

Qin Jingchang turned his head away and didn't even look at her.

Qin Shu didn't care.

She frowned and said, "Yesterday, the manager went out to collect the public harvest and collected more than 4,000 taels of silver. There are also two shop owners who are not here."

"This amount of silver is far from enough for the funeral."

Seeing that his second uncle finally looked up, Qin Shu quickly handed the paper over, "These things, together with the money needed to keep the funeral for the next month, will still leave a gap of 50,000 to 60,000 taels."

Second Uncle was stunned and his face turned a little blue.

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Fifty or sixty thousand taels? !

Qin Shu said somewhat embarrassedly: "The expenses for my parents' funeral should be paid from the public purse. Now that we don't have enough cash, we can only sell the shop and the land."

The whole room was dead silent, and everyone was looking at Qin Jingchang.

Qin Jingchang stared at the thin piece of paper in his hand, his eyes wishing he could spit out fire and burn the paper and Qin Shu together.

Don't chase a dog into a dead end alley.

Qin Shu was also afraid that if she pushed him too far, he might do something unexpected.

She took a roll of paper from Nanny Chun and handed it to her second uncle. "This is what my niece found in the box where my mother kept the contracts for the shops in the public house. It is an IOU from another family. Now that my parents are gone, I don't know if I can get the money back."

Qin Jingchang's expression finally relaxed and he took the IOU from Qin Shu.

Without waiting for Qin Jingchang to ask, Accountant Sun quickly replied, "The total amount of the IOU is thirty-five thousand taels."

If all of it were recovered, the shortfall would only be around 20,000 taels.

Qin Jingchang glared at Qin Shu and said, "Your parents have always loved you, but now that their bodies are still warm, you have set your sights on the shops and land. If you think carefully, these shops and land can be considered as ancestral property. Which decent and promising young man would set his sights on ancestral property?"

Qin Shu's face turned pale instantly and she almost couldn't breathe.

Tears kept welling up in my eyes.

Qin Jingchang let out a breath of anger, and then he said, "I will send someone to collect the debt tomorrow. I will find a way to pay for the missing money. Big brother has worked hard for all these years, and he has only earned this little fortune. Only by protecting this fortune can we protect the foundation of the Qin family!"

The elders of the clan also nodded in agreement.

Qin Shu's face was filled with shame, and she lowered her head in silence.

But she knew in her heart: Qin Jingchang slapped her in the face because of the humiliation he had suffered at Qin Shu's hands in the past two days;

Another reason was to show the clan elders that Qin Jingyuan's family fortune was not as great as they thought.

If Qin Shu really agreed to sell the shop and property, I'm afraid even if she sold them all, it would still not be able to fill the hole.

As for the fact that he was not greedy for the wealth of the East Palace...

If he could say this, it would only add to the joke.

No matter what the clan or Qin Jingchang were up to, both sides knew it clearly, so there was no need to make things worse.
